9. ______ time, he'll make a first-class tennis player.
A.Having
B.Given
C.Giving
D.Had
A B C D
B
[解析] Given用于句首表假设,其后跟名词、代词或词组。故答案为B。
10. The three men tried many times to sneak across the border into the neighbouring country, ______ by the police each time.
A.had been captured
B.being always captured
C.only to be captured
D.unfortunately captured
A B C D
C
[解析] only to这一不定式作结果状语,意为“不料,结果”,因此C为正确答案。A项是谓语动词的过去完成时,不能作状语;B项的现在分词状语表示原因或伴随等,不表结果,意思不对,所以不选;D项的过去分词captured只表示某一次的动作,与each time相矛盾。
11. Agriculture is the country's chief source of wealth, wheat ______ by far the biggest cereal crop.
A.is
B.been
C.be
D.being
A B C D
D
[解析] 分析本句结构,由于逗号不能连接两个完整的句子,因而逗号后所接部分只能是非谓语形式,加上它有自己的主语wheat,则构成独立主格结构,表示伴随状态。A项is和C项be为谓语动词,不可选;而B项been为过去分词,只见于独立结构中的被动形式,不合题意。请注意,此处being也可省略,“主语+名词”的结构也是独立主格的形式之一,如:Two hundred people died in the accident, most of them children.
12. Time ______, the celebration will be held as scheduled.
A.permit
B.permitting
C.permitted
D.permits
A B C D
B
[解析] 独立主格结构。此句中使用的是“主语+动词-ing形式”的独立主格结构,作条件状语,相当于If time permits,因此应选B。由于time和permit不构成被动或完成关系,因此不选C。A和D为谓语动词,无法构成独立结构,因此不能选。
13. There ______ nothing more for discussion, the meeting came to an end haft an hour earlier.
A.to be
B.to have been
C.being
D.be
A B C D
C
[解析] there be句型可以使用独立主格结构作原因状语,现在分词形式可表原因,故C项正确。
14. Which of the following italicized parts is a subject clause (主语丛句)?
A.We are quite certain that we will get there in time.
B.He has to face the fact that there will be no pay rise this year.
C.She said that she had seen the man earlier that morning.
D.It is sheer luck that the miners are still alive after days.
32. Which of the following contains an adverbial clause of cause?
A.I got a job as soon as I left university.
B.As there was no answer, I wrote again.
C.You must do the exercises as I show you.
D.Wealthy as he is, Mark is not a happy man.
A B C D
B
[解析] 选项A中as soon as I left university是时间状语从句。选项B中as为连词,相当于because,引导原因状语从句。选项C中as“像……一样”是连词,引导方式状语从句。选项D中,as意为“尽管”引导让步状语从句,注意该句使用倒装结构,形容词wealthy被置于as之前。所以正确答案是B。
33. ______ I like economics, I like sociology much better.
A.As much as
B.So much
C.How much
D.Much as
A B C D
D
[解析] as引导让步状语从句时,常常需要把形容词或副词置于句首,因此D为正确答案。as much as表示“和……一样多”;so much表示“许多”;how much表示“多少”。这三个选项都不能与本句的后半部分形成符合逻辑的语义关系。
34. ______ the boss says, it is unreasonable to ask me to work overtime without pay.
38. ______ dull he may be, he is certainly a very successful top executive.
A.Although
B.Whatever
C.As
D.However
A B C D
D
[解析] A项Although后面的从句接正常语序,应当说成:Although he may be dull,故A可排除。As和though也可以表示让步,此时应说成Dull as/though he may be,故C项As也不对。B项Whatever=No matter what,后面接名词,此处是形容词dull,故B也不对。D项However=No matter how(无论多么),后接形容词,符合本句要求。
39. ______, Mr. Wells is scarcely in sympathy with the worldng class.
A.Although he is a socialist
B.Even if he is a socialist
C.Being a socialist
D.Since he is a socialist
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句表达的是一般性的转折、让步关系,应该选A项Although“尽管,虽然”。B中的Even if也表示让步,但其意为“即使/即便……,也……”,强调“假设的、退一步的”情况;C项Being a socialist是现在分词短语表示原因,相当于一个表示原因的状语从句;D项Since he is a socialist也表示原因,都不符合句意。
40. If not ______ with the respect he feels due to him, Jack gets very ill-tempered and grumbles all the time.
A.being treated
B.treated
C.be treated
D.having been treated
A B C D
B
[解析] 当条件状语从句的主语与主句主语一致,并且从句谓语含有be时,可以将从句主语和be一并省略。本句主语是。Jack,与treat,之间为被动关系,故使用过去分词treated,答案为B。本题还原为完整的条件句为:If Jack is not treated with the respect he feels due to him...。
41. She did her work ______ her manager had instructed.
43. ______, he always tries his best to complete it on time.
A.However the task is hard
B.However hard the task is
C.Though hard the task is
D.Though hard is the task
A B C D
B
[解析] however和though都可以表示转折之义。however需与形容词或副词连用,表示对其的强调,结构为“however hard+主语+谓语”,意为“不管如何努力……”,故B为答案。though是一个连词,需引导完整的句子作状语从句。C和D选项的词序都不对,正确的语序应为Though the task is hard。
44. The brilliance of his satire was ______ make even his victims laugh.
A.so as to
B.such as to
C.so that
D.such that
A B C D
B
[解析] 空格后的部分不是一个完整的句子,没有主语,因此首先排除连接状语从句的C项so that“因此,以便”和D项such that“如此……以至于”。A项so as to相当于in order to“为了”,表示目的,语义不对。B项such as to意为“如此……以至于”,其中的such为代词,在本题中指代the brilliance,符合题意。
45. —Does Alan like hamburgers? —Yes. So much ______ that he eats them almost every day.
A.for
B.as
C.to
D.so
A B C D
D
[解析] so much so that“到这样的程度以至……”是固定用法。句中so much是Alan likes hamburgers so much的省略形式,之后的so that引导的是结果状语从句,因此选项D正确。
